Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-02-27 vs 2024-02-27

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Ratios

Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest

Ratio Trend 2020-02-062021-02-282022-02-282023-02-282024-02-272025-02-27
Operating margin 52.4%
Net margin 45.2%
Return on capital employed 53.5%-209.8%
Current ratio 9.08x11.69x
Interest cover 3828.94x

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue. Sector-distribution context coming next.

“As a result, the directors have concluded that it is no longer appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a break-up basis, under which assets are stated at their estimated realisable values and liabilities include provisions for costs expected to be incurred in connection with the cessation of trading.”
